"I am the change I want in the world." Goal (what) I want to understand why I am magical.
Ceilidh's Tattoo on her back, Ceilidh's portrait, Ceilidh's outfit Scions of innately magical bloodlines, the chosen of deities, the spawn of monsters, pawns of fate and destiny, or simply flukes of fickle magic, sorcerers look within themselves for arcane prowess and draw forth might few mortals can imagine. I have a crossblooded bloodline that combines the powers of two distinct heritages, and a wildblooded sorcerer with a mutated version of a more common bloodline. In most cases, sorcerers with this bloodline are the offspring of two sorcerers from different ancestries, but occasionally a crossblooded sorcerer arises from the conjunction of other powers. I was raised in the arcane schooling college, more like a wizard, while also in the cloistered life of a scion of House Cannith, receiving the wisdom of my elders to guide me. My family has always been skilled in the eldritch art of magic. While many of my relatives were accomplished wizards, my powers developed without the need for study and practice. Scholars of the arcane are always creating new means to use magic, while House Cannith has members that are well known for their innovation and advancements in technology. I possess a deep bond to Siberys, the Dragon Above, which shapes my sorcerous powers. Many believe the Dragon Above is the source of all arcane magic, and the first dragons were born from the blood that fell when Khyber slew Siberys. My bond to the Dragon Above enhances my ability to channel magic. ==DEFENSE==

Description:
Ceilidh's blue eyes are light and mysterious and stark against her bronze skin. Her dark brown hair graces her shoulders. She has a noble posture, almost challenging. A tattoo of an upside-down tree runs down her neck, spreading across her shoulders. It's actually not one tattoo, but hundreds of tiny magical sigil tattoos, forming the image of an upside-down barren tree.
Personality:
Ceilidh is very against inequality. She has been homeless and an outcast (often by choice) for good portions of her life, so she feels for the underdog, the marginalized. She fears people blame and suspect her for attacks against people and places, because of her magic, and even for just unfortunate events happening. She worries she's a bit of an unintended terrorist. So she has latched onto a few incidences she's read about that involved real terrorists...elves. Because of her frustration over her own situation, she tends to read the worst in elves and comes across as passively racist.
She's brilliant, but a bit of an alcoholic. She can't sleep without a drink. She loves a good cigar but will complain about someone tracking in dirt, or not washing their face. Calculating and thoughtful in her planning, she often doesn't think about what she is going to say before she says it in conversation. Background:
Ceilidh is a hard woman to love. She's brilliant and believes she is on a mission to civilize the world, one person at a time. She believes that society is doomed because of the way people treat each other, and the way the species treat each other. She believes that there is a problem with the rich crushing the poor, even though she doesn't believe that there is something inherently wrong with being rich.
She distrusts magic, feels it is only abused, and dislikes religion, feeling it is a big con. The conundrum of her life lies in the fact that she seems to seep magic from every pore. She would prefer to just read a book, cook an extravagant meal, enjoy an expensive scotch and cigar, and live out her life in a warm place overlooking the sea. She believes in the best of mankind, but also believes that most people are idiots; sheep, with no willpower, to make an informed choice for themselves, bent on treating each other poorly simply for a lack of understanding, or because they want a cookie. She was born in the southeast of Cyre, in the small village of Little Mingin, an upscale village on the edge of Lake Cyre, made up mostly of House members. Her family sent her away to school in Metrol because "weird things always happened around her", the final straw being when she gave a House manager from Thrane's daughter a purple beard. At fifteen her tattoo appeared, growing steadily down her back. She was afraid it was a disease or infection of some sort. Her fears, it seems to her, were confirmed. She is infected with magical energy. It took the form of a slowly growing upside-down tree, made of thousands of tiny arcane symbols, one by one appearing on her skin, bleeding down her back, slowly over the years. Every time something strange happened around her, the tattoo grew a little more. At the age of 21, she awoke in an inn she was staying at in a city on the shores of Kraken Bay while working as a freelance researcher for Venture-Captain Obo...or what remained of the inn. Her bed alone stood unharmed, on an untouched rise in a crater where the 'Three Barmaids' once stood. She believes she destroyed it with her magic. That was when her Mark changed from a tiny shoot to a tiny sapling on her back. It was also the Day of Mourning. She wants nothing more than to control this magic, so it can't hurt anyone else. She can't let this thing inside her destroy everything around her. Over the next year, driven by fear of hurting anyone, she made her way to Sharn, where the amount of alcohol they served seemed to match her thirst well. She is a human, and rumor had it her grandmother was a Tiefling, being from Metrol, but she honestly considers herself human (no matter what those kids said). She cannot stand racism, and will quickly lose her cool if she sees it in practice. She is not a hero and has done nothing she considers special. Goals:
Ceilidh wants to figure out why her tree tattoo began to develop...and what it means.
Aside from that, she is really wanting to learn how to cook rice the way they did back home. It was like little pillows of air. That, and the perfect scotch. She hears rumors that there is a scotch from the Demon Wastes that has stopped the battle there, simply so demons and Paladins could share it. Build in future:
